Track KPIs with accuracy

At Smokeball we realised that arming our clients with data on their most valuable commodity (time) was essential. Smokeball's software Automatic Time and Activity Tracking helps conveyancers and lawyers realise (and bill for) the value they provide clients by tracking exactly what is done on each file without the need to do anything. Even if they do not bill by the hour, tracking time and activities is of utmost importance. Clients want to pay for value provided, so they need to keep track of not only of their time, but exactly what that time was spent doing and what value was derived from it on the matter. With Automatic Time Tracking, Smokeball users can knowledgeably bill and adjust their practices to achieve more profit and less stress!​We built this feature to fill a void left by other software on the market. No other system can track all time spent in documents, emails, and on administrative tasks within the software in a way that then associates that time back to correct file for billing or profitability analysis (or both), and all done automatically!

Everything you and your staff do within Smokeball, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Outlook is timed, tracked, and associated with the appropriate file automatically. No need to start and stop multiple timers or try to keep up with your busy day minute-by-minute on paper. Smokeball gives you various ways to add tracked time to bills or to simply gauge productivity and profitability. Never again find yourself re-constructing time spent or work done on a file. Whether you bill hourly, with fixed fees, or work on contingency, our automatic time-tracking will hand you the information needed to ensure your business runs efficiently.
